Class Project #1



I had time to take pictures of all the projects we'll be doing in my class this Sunday and thought I'd share my favorite one with you first. This is the egg box from Papertrey. I found some adorable double sided paper at my local scrapbook store by Imaginisce. It's from the "For Peep's Sake" collection. Since the images on the front are all circles, I used a 1 inch punch on 15 of them and attached them with dimensionals around the box. I used the back side of the paper directly on the box, but left a 1/4 inch border so some of the white box would show.

I loved Lauren Meader's idea of using the disposable piping bags as carrots. I went to the Jelly Belly store yesterday and bought 3 pounds of cantaloupe jelly beans......yummmy! We'll be using these to fill the piping bags and then tying the tops with 1/4 inch certainly celery SU ribbon. I get to eat all of the leftover jelly beans from my class right?!

I used the scallop punch, which I just LOVE for a little interest at the top of the box. I poked holes around the border with my paper piercer and outlined them with a white gel pen. The bottom of the box is wrapped in 5/8 inch certainly celery SU ribbon.
This was such a quick and easy project to do, but it looks like it took hours! Don't you just love those?

What a weekend!



I'm thrilled to say that my Valentine workshop was a smashing success! Between the two days, I had a great turnout and everyone LOVED the projects. I've decided to host a different themed workshop on the first Sunday of each month.

March is fast approaching and I'm already full of super cute ideas for my next get-together! I can't wait to get my hot little hands on the new "just hatched boxes" from Papertrey. They will be released on the 15th and I'll be placing my order at 12:01am so I can get enough of them for my March workshop! I may have to order some extras to have on hand for Father's Day, because I think these boxes would be PERFECT for holding personalized golf balls. Can't you just picture them sitting in a bed of faux grass?!
